Would probably have to distinguish between things happening without cause, and those happening without intention. I think there are none in the first category, and plenty in the second.

That's kind of my line of thinking. The question now is, does intention matter? Is it an accident if I intend to do something, it doesn't happen, but the reason it didn't happen was due to a cause--as it probably must?

It does to us.

It is an acident if you didn't intend to do something, and it happened. What you describe seems to be deflection or procrastination.

Of course, you have to accept the concept of a (partially) free will before you can even begin to speak about "accidents".

Accidents are unintentional incidents.
there is always a cause.
Accidents can be both Good or Bad
Most people only think of the bad ones, But there are just as many happy ones.

Legally speaking, the difference is one of "culpable mental state." A pure accident for which one is not liable at all would be where the consequences of an act or omission were neither intended nor could they have reasonably been foreseen. Negligence is when the person at least "should have known" what would occur as a result of his acts or omissions. Gross negligence is where a person acts with "conscious disregard of a known risk." And then there are "intentional" culpable mental states where the actor intends the results or something reasonably like them.
